Carolina Community for 01/19/06

Apex, NC

Carolina Communities Logo This week’s Carolina Community is Apex in Southwestern Wake County. Incorporated in 1873. Apex received its name for not only being the highest point on the Chatham Railroad between Richmond and Jacksonville, Florida, but because in places along the main street, water which falls on one side of main street flows to the Neuse River and on the other side flows to the Cape Fear. Apex, the “Peak of Good Living,” hosts an annual Peak Week Festival each May.

Apex Sign Post The first Wake County tobacco auction market was established in Apex in 1905. Originally a railroad town, the Apex rail station was established to connect the North Carolina Railroad with the coal fields of Chatham County.

With a population of just over 30,000, Apex maintains a small-town feel. Its close proximity to Research Triangle Park is attracting hi-tech industry. Business North Carolina magazine named Apex the Best Small Town in North Carolina. Planners predict Apex’s population will double in the next 8 to 10 years.
